SPOOKFEST
Our Spookfest is back. New Inn village is holding its annual Scarecrow competition from Sunday, Oct 23. It’s that time again where you need to get the thinking caps on and display your scarecrow creation in the village of New Inn. On Sunday 23, we are taking names and registering your masterpieces from 2-4pm in the Gaa field. We will also be selling tickets for the Kiddies disco which will be in the New Inn Community Centre on the bank holiday Monday, Oct 31 from 3-5pm. We’ll need as many scarecrows as possible lining our village and roads so we can get the village buzzing. We are calling all our families, groups of people, townlands, schools, players from teams, clubs etc. in the parish but also from outside the parish (all are welcome) to get together and create a masterpiece of a scarecrow of any theme you wish. Please keep an eye on our Facebook page, “New Inn festival” Spookfest, for further updates. If anyone needs more information, please contact Anita on 087 6505889.

GREYHOUND NEWS
Congratulations to Jennifer O Donnell from Killenaule who bred, reared and trained this year’s Derby winner Born Warrior for the “whatever you like” syndicate on Saturday September 24. This was a very poignant time for Jennifer as her late Dad Matt O’Donnell won 3 Irish Derbys 1990, 1991 and 1995, he also won the English Derby in 1992, her mam Francis also won the Irish Derby in 2012 so History was made last Saturday night when Jennifer landed her own Derby, the crowd in Shelbourne lifted the roofs in celebrations. Commiserations to Owen McKenna from Garranlea, New Inn who trained the outgoing favourite Callaway pro-am who was unbeaten right up to the Final, unfortunately he lost his balance at the first bend from which he never recovered, eventually finishing fourth. You can be guaranteed he will be hitting the headlines again shortly.
